Our Facilities

The NSF Center for High-rate Nanomanufacturing maintains a strong research presence at Northeastern University. Most of the scientific research is carried out in the George J. Kostas Nanoscale Technology and Manufacturing Research Center. Established through a generous gift from Mr. Kostas, the facility was completed in 2005.

The Class 10, 1000, and 10000 cleanroom space is available for use by faculty, students, researchers, and external users. Researchers and outside partners may be able to obtain access to research facilities in other Northeastern programs, such as in the Bouvé College of Health Sciences, or at other institutions affiliated with the Center, such as the University of Massachusetts-Lowell.

The Center for High-rate Nanomanufacturing (CHN) is focused on developing tools and processes that will make it possible for businesses to quickly and efficiently manufacture products. For many nanoproducts currently under development, the technology only allows us to laboriously make a limited range of products. Our goal is high-rate, high-volume
